PORTABLE GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 21, 1914.

Application filed November 25, 1912. Serial No. 733,443.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH H. M. J. F. FoRLoNo, of the city of NewYork, in the State of New York, United States of America, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Portable Garment- Hangers, ofwhich the following is the specification.

My invention relates to improvements in portable garment hangers, andthe object of the invention is to devise a hanger of this classparticularly adaptable for use in limited spaces such as cupboards andsteamer wardrobes and which may be folded in to a small compass forpacking in a suit case or trunk and it consists essentially of a pair oftubular members, one member telescopically held within the other andloop members pivoted at each end of the telescopic member and designedto fold when collapsed to each side of such telescopic member and hooksfor suspending the loops from suitable supports as hereinafter moreparticularly explained by the following specification.

Figure 1, is a general perspective view of my device showing theapplication thereof. Fig. 2, is a view of my device collapsed for thepurpose of packing. Fig. 3, is a view of my garment hanger showingalternative way for supporting the same.

In the drawings like letters of reference indicate corresponding partsin each figure.

A is a telescopic tubular member formed and A the portion A fitting andslidably held within the portion A.

B and B are metal loops pivoted to each side and at the outer end'of theportions A and A The upper erid of the loops are preferably bent atright angles to the major portion-of the loop so that when folded in toposition shown in Fig. 2, such right angular portions will extend aroundthe member A and allow of the major portion of the loop to lie parallelwith such member.

C are hooks of any suitable form designed to be screwed in to the top orside walls of the cupboard to support the loops B and B.

From this description it will be seen that I have devised a ham er whichmay be adapted to any sized cup card merely by drawing the portions Aand A longitudinally of each other and spacing the hooks C in therequired position in the top of the cupboard or in the side walls of thecupboard so that the loops B and B may be hung therefrom. When packingmy hanger all that it is necessary to do is to remove the hooks and pushthe members A and A longitudinally within each other and then fold theloops B and B downwardly in to the position shown in Fig. 2.

What I claim as my invention is:

A portable garment hanger, consisting of two telescoping tube members, aloop pivotally connected to the free ends of each of said tube members,said loop members terminating in angularly disposed free ends of suchshape as to conform to the shape of its attaching tube member and beingadapted to fold down and partially embrace said tube.
